Technical Details
- A fantastic value light weight field stereomicroscope with integral LED illumination that is the perfect budget microscope for looking at whole objects.
- Other than its price there is nothing cheap about this low power stereomicroscope. Ideal for field use and terrific for introducing the young scientist to microscopy.
- The Examiner is for looking at whole objects at an overall magnification of x20 and does not need or use microscope slides (our slide kits are therefore not suitable).
- Standard size widefield x10 eyepieces and a pair of x2 objectives gives a 3D image of specimens of all types.
- Optical components are achromatic glass lenses, and there are x25 eyepieces available as an accessory that can increase the magnification to x50.

I dont usually give out 5 stars unless it is somethig very special...which this is...There's not really anything i can add to the Quality description except to say ...if you have never looked into a stereo microscope before...its worth buying just to look at your fingernails...I garantee you will spend at least an hour looking at them...honest!...I already owned the next in the line desktop microscope from Apex which is how I knew the quality was going to be first rate...so no surprises there...what blew me away and pushed it to the 5 star rating was the price!!!...I bought a kids microscope from a place that sells "toys to us"...and it was the same price but not the same quality...not even close...so if you have ANY reservations about buying this piece of kit DONT...buy it quick before they realise they have accidently marked it too low...good luck Boshy...

As well as being excellent value for money, the microscope arrived extremely quickly and was very well packaged. My son has spent many very enjoyable hours looking at rocks, crystals, dead insects and also many other general objects around the house. I would recommend the microscope to anyone, as the depth between the magnifier and the viewing plate means that you have a wider range of items you can look at in it and it magnifies very well showing a lot of detail. I am extremely pleased with my purchase. Thank you.

Amazon Verified Purchase
When buying a product at the bottom end of the price scale you are prepared that it may not be very good. However, this microscope exceeded all my expectations. It is well made and performs brilliantly. I have used for natural history subjects and the lenses give you a bright image in glorious stereo. The built in light is not terribly powerful but does the job. It is light enough to carry into the field and cheap enough that you don't mind taking it into the field. The magnification is low but enough to open up a whole new world of detail that you can't see with the naked eye. I have no hesitation in recommending this.
